Well, that's the name of the poll!
Since the polls, as of now, only let me have ten options, I was limited to the console games as opposed to the GB games.
Oh well, I have to say I'm having a hard time picking. Honestly, the series kinda went into a rut starting with 5. 1 was the start, 2 really made it fun with bosses that actually behaved like bosses should and decent sized levels, as well as the fun mood. 3 expanded on that but also added RUSH! Sure, Rush was just a dog that contained the various special items of 2, but Rush was cool! Every robot boy should have a robot dog, or something. Anyway, that game was cool because it had PROTOMAN, and he's cool, as well as being able to fight remodels of all the MM2 bosses. MM4 added the Megabuster, really changing how battles were fought for the first and pretty much last time, plus it had the fun of TWO evil fortresses to trudge through. Also, Protoman again! Plus, russians! The two after that, from what little I've played, really didn't do much... MM7 was on SNES, but it too didn't really do much. MM8 as well... Megaman and Bass was the first real change. Sure it recycled the big change from MMX4 (another character with their own moves) and it kinda crippled it at that (Zero in MMX4 actually learned sword moves instead of learning the same buster based moves that X did, and Bass should have learned his own unique moves too), but it was fun. Plus, it's the hardest of the games I've played, and in a game like this, that's important.
Anway, it's between 2, 3, 4, and M&B. Then, using methods you would call stupid, I reduce it to 2 and M&B. From there, I finally... well, I guess I'll go based entirely on robot masters. MM2 had Metal Man. He's like one of the coolest ever, namely due to one of the most useful weapons ever. Half the bosses were weak to the metal blade! M&B had, well actually two of the bosses were actually rebuilds of MM8 bosses. Of the originals though, Burner Man is the coolest. So, Metal Man vs Burner Man... Sorry fire crazy thing, but Metal Man wins. So, I vote that the series topped out with the second game! (Besides, the fire weapon in that game could be charged just like the Mega Buster later could.)

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
